D'nealian style animal themed ABC posters designed for all elementary grade levels.
The posters have both a print and cursive example.
Photographs, rather than clip art, add a bit of realism so these are especially nice for slightly older English language learners.
Best of all there are no chevrons, polka dots, stripes nor bubble headed stick figures anywhere on these posters. (Not that there is anything wrong with that) (^_^)
Designed in A4 size but can be printed half or a quarter that by adjusting your printer settings.

Write an acrostic poem, create a post card and solve a crossword after reading or listening to the picture story book, "On a Beam of Light" by Jennifer Berne. The template makes it easy for students to create an acrostic poem. There are two versions one for Albert and a second for Einstein. The post card template has a space for writing a short letter, writing an address (optional) and/or drawing an illustration for the back. The crossword is a little difficult but not too much I think.
I'd love to do more of these for free but I need your help. Provide a bit of feedback and follow my shop and I'll be motivated to do more!! (^_^)
"On a Beam of Light" by Jennifer Berne, illustrated by Vladimir Radunsky is a beautifully illustrated whimsical account of the life and accomplishments of Albert Einstein. Read a full review at ThinkingLearningCreating.Com
